"Yusuke In Okinawa" starts today!!!!
That was a really nice interview.
from a karateka who pratice Matsubayashi-Ryu I say: Thank you, Yusuke!!!
Greetings from Germany.
Hooray!
@@JerryGoNuts thanks!
@@salvatoreplacidoplumari3840 no problem!
I love how he talks about the concept of Karate Ni Sente Nashi! Even if you block, you are attacking to persuade the other one to cease his hostilities.
Loved it too!
Eso mismo dice mi sensei en sus clases
That Dojo has a very good energy about it. Looks like a nice training space.
In Okinawa, dojos are usually a room in the master's home.
It surely was!
@@daniel-zh9nj6yn6y right!
It is so nice to see the respect you give to your elders.
Haha thanks!
"there's no first attack in karate" wow ...that took me in deep thinking...i love this...cant wait for more. thankyou for this series.
More coming up!
That's why every Kata starts with a block.........
After being a follower of Karate by Jesse for a long time now, the inspiration and path you follow from his Okinawan visits is similar but also unique to your own channel. I love it and please keep it up! This episode alone gave me so many new and wonderful things to consider about my own training.
Thank you for bringing awareness of Shinzato Sensei to more people. I have been fortunate to work out with him many times at the Nagamine Dojo and at his Dojo. He is a great teacher, but more importantly a kind and gentle person. I hope that you enjoyed your time with him and best of luck in your continued studies.
Our pleasure! He surely was a great sensei
I am very happy to see other Students of Nagamine Shoshin explain karate so well
Masao Shinzato Sensei
Thank you
Karate ne sente nashi has three levels of response
Sen
Sen no sen
Go no sen
Ukeru is to receive… not block..
Yes a block is a strike on beginner level
But the inner meaning is to enter inside the attack to use rear hand as cover
What a birthday gift. Thank you, Yusuke
Happy birthday to you!
I started my journey in Matsubayashi-ryu more than three decades ago, and my fondness for karate has only grown over the years. I greatly appreciate this interview and look forward to watching you train with Shinzato Sensei! Bruises make the best training trophies :)
thank you for introsducing us to Shinzato Sensei , I can already tell he's a great teacher .Warm and cares deeply for karate .always willing to show everyone the great sides of karate! . I cant wait to see what he will share with us!
Thanks for checking it out!
I practiced for many years with a direct disciple of Nagamine Shoshin. You are making me want to spend some time in Okinawa and experience first hand this awesome culture...
Like how you reach out to other styles! Especially an old school Sensei like this!
Thanks!
Well Yusuke I did wonder, given that so many Shotokan Karate teachers have trained in Okinawa & videod their experiences, just how you would make something that was different & fresh. I have to say that I am impressed. So hats off to you Sir. It is wonderful to hear what the Okinawan Masters think & feel about karate and the world. Also the idea of a 'block' to deter an attacker is something Nakayama Sensei wrote about. So this next video should be a beauty!!!!!
Wow! Thanks so much!!!
@@KarateDojowaKu Doh Atishi Mashite my young friend. Keep up your good work.
Hearing the master speak gave me so much wisdom I felt all his words rigth in my "Kokoro" thank you for bring this interview on my life in this moment. Respect from Patagonia, Chile.
Super pumped to watch these videos! It is very similar to the style of Shorin Ryu that I train in; Kiyatake Ha Cho Bu. (Chotoku Kyan's lineage).
Ahh that Shorin is written like this 小林.
The sensei I've interviewed in this series was written like this 松林.
But the roots are overlapping so I'm sure you noticed the differences!
Yeah, very similar. Our lineage is through chotoku kyan directly. SUPER similar. Looking forward to the other videos!
The art of Brut power and finesse and lightness. Bravo à vous Senseis. 👏👍 🇯🇵🇲🇦🇫🇷💪✌😎.
Can't wait to see the next episode. I have also been in karate for 50 years. However in and out. I started when I was 15 I think, in 1967. Currently back in for last 10 years. I was fortunate to originally be trained by Japanese here on 5 year visa. They went back to Japan after the visas expired. Masahide Nakamura and Fumio Suzuki, head couch and team captain, Hosei University karate team. I still train because I like it. Shotokan.
Sounds great! Hosei is a very strong university for karate :)
@@KarateDojowaKu I'm very happy to hear that. I'm proud of that heritage. Wood floors and no mats. No armor when sparing. Bruised rims taught you not to get hit. I got stories.
This is awesome! I grew up doing Matsubayashi-Ryu and am trying to get back into the art as an adult. It's fantastic to learn more, and see how a wonderful master like him teaches. These will be great reference for my own practice. Thank you. + some of the stuff is super cool, too. Most people think Karate is just strikes, kicks, and blocks. But elbow, knee, and palm strikes are just as present, and are part of the basic movements in Shoshin Nagamine's teachings. Karate is far more comprehensive than most would give it credit to be.
Awesome! So excited to see these... CONCEPTS. Each “personality” of the different styles in these upcoming episodes! The idea of these blocks being attacks is great, “never attack first”. Great stuff. Ninjutsu uses almost same concept by changing the stance for each thought, intention, or anticipation of the next movement. Not “attacking” but adapting against the incoming attack. Cant wait. Great work! 🤘🏽
Thanks for sharing your background too!
Thank you ! this is how i was taught right from the start , discipline , try to deescalate, if attacked, block, and only retaliate to disable their ability to attack again
This is the first time I have seen any of your videos. Loved it and subbed immediately. Thank You for Sharing.
Thanks and welcome!
One day I know I will get to his warm aura of gentleness kindness and greatness with wisdom and futher knowledge what a delightful most powering human if you cant tell that by this video you can't see what the true meaning of a karateka is
Right!
That was a good interview looking forward to the next episode.
And I agree with using blocks as a form of attacking.
thanks!
@@KarateDojowaKu welcome 👍🏽
these interviews with old masters might be the best stuff Covid -age produced.
Were did you pick up the skills to interview someone? Actually very good...!
Oh really!? I’m just trying to go deeper into his philosophy.
It takes no skill, you just do it.
@@moehoward8691 seeing your other posts... you sir, are the biggest douche there is.
Very nice!! I like the way they humbly stripe their belt in Shorin Ryu.
That’s true!
I've never practiced Karate but I can see how it could bring peace. ❤✌
Because the other day someone told me off for commenting in a non inclusive way I'll write the next for this epic moment. Instead of *fangirl scream" I'll write
"EXCITED AND HAPPY HUMAN SCREAM*
that's what I do every time this man uploads a video
Haha thanks Dani!
Please do share their locations in the description too, so that karate tourists can visit those dojos
I’m not sure if you can just go there without any prior notification, so I didn’t put it in the description.
@@KarateDojowaKu ok then atleast provide us contact details, so that we can contact them in prior to have an appointment or training session with them.
Wow, I am blown away. What a great interview.
thanks!
i know nothing about Karate, i came here from the channel Paolo from Tokyo, loved the video and will be looking out for more content
What a nice interview! I could listen to it for hours. Thank you!
What a cool dude!! Thx for bringing him in. Yeah any martial art that doesn't lack philosophy its about peace! Great interview and even having stop with martial arts 15 years ago I just love your videos!
Wow! Thanks so much!
you have to visit Akamine Hiroshi Sensei from Ryukyu Kobudo Shimbukan & Mugenkai Shorin Ryu !
Hopefully next time!
Awsome video! Looking forward to watching this Yusuke in Okinawa series.
Hope you enjoy it!
Keep them coming, following you from 🇧🇩. Oss!
More to come!
This is so good. Can't wait to see the next episode.
Coming soon!
5:06
You might wanna ask Sensei Lawrence of Eagle Fang Karate
Thanks for the suggestion!
Cant wait for the next episode. Thanks for this content.
Coming soon!
Itosu Passai, the one that correlates to Shotokan Bassai Dai is different from Matsubayashi's Pasaai. The Passai in Matsubayashi Shorin Ryu is also known as Tomari Passai. If you'd like to see a version of the Okinawan precursor to Shotokan's Bassai Dai, then look to the Chibana lineages (eg: Kobayashi Shorin Ryu- Shorinkan) Their Passai Sho is the Itosu Passai and the enbusen maps directly with the Shotokan Bassai Dai. Their Koryu Passai has an enbusen that corresponds to Shotokan's Bassai Sho. Tomari Passai is a different kata altogether and doesn't have a corresponding kata in Shotokan. Oh, by the way, Tomari bassai is a beautiful kata.
Thanks for sharing your knowledge! It might not be as close to Itosu Passai, but Tomari Passai still had some similarities :)
Great! Cant wait to see the next episode!!
Coming soon!
I really like the video, can’t wait for the all series thank you for make it happen, greetings from Mexico, osu!
Glad you enjoy it!
EXCELLENT EPISODE, I WILL LOOKING FOWARD THE NEXT ONE
thanks!
I fully enjoyed the concepts of karate like 空手に先手なし or 殺人拳じゃなくて活人拳. The idea that you can defend and attack just with blocks it's incredible.
Awesome video!!! I love the way that Shinzato Sensei talks about the concept of Karate Ni Sente Nashi! It's so impressive!!!
This interview is very powerful. Thank you, Sensei!
Thank you for doing these kind of videos going back to the roots. Better learn from the masters because it is just a matter of time before they are gone
Wonderful video. Thank you.
Thank you too!
Great. Can´t wait for the next Episode
Coming soon!
Great stuff! :)
Thanks!
My favourite channel Karate dojo waku
Thanks!
Duuuuuude, awesome! *Thumbs up.*
Thanks a ton!
Nice video thanks. Watching through them all now while at work, the "No first strike philosophy" and karate practice bringing mental peace really sums up my initial impressions about karate and I started. Thank you. Onto the next episode
Thank you for sharing your passion of karate
Our pleasure!
I love him.
same here!
OOH, i am definitely loving this lesson.
Glad you enjoy it!
Great content! I liked it very much!
Glad you enjoyed it!
Okinawa dojos, at least the ones I've seen, all seem to be so .... intimate ...in their size and decor. Often far less sterile than dojos in mainland Japan. Amazing video...as always sir.../deep bow
thanks!
This is wonderful! A strong start (pun intended) to what is sure to be a fantastic series! I'm particularly excited for the video(s) on Uechi-Ryu (Pangai-Noon) you announced in the trailer-I'd love to hear your thoughts on how Shotokan and Uechi-Ryu compare
Fingers crossed!
Nice. I used to train im Shorin Ryu before Shotokan.
Very nice!
Very great interview, I love his philosophy, makes me think a lot 🙏😊
Hai- thee True Reason! 4 any Art 🥋🤘✊
Came from Paolo great content!
Thanks!
Thank You Yusuke Sensei.
This videos are very educative, please subtitles in spanish.
What a nice gentleman!
I totally agree with him re. continuing training for a lifetime: I've been training for 50 years also, and I still love it and look forward to every training.
I have to, regrettably, disagree with him on his wonderful vision of world peace that could come from the universal practice of karate: at least here in the States, there are far too many karate players (or those who want to be) who do not follow or even understand the principles of karate-do as he explained, and have an unhealthy ego attachment to, and reason for, training; and they pursue training with bad and hostile and adversarial attitudes, and/or only care about what rank they are and the prestige they think it conveys them (regardless of their actual skill or understanding of karate, which often sadly follows an inverse relation to their rank).
Thank you very much for sharing your perspective!
World Peace is Attainable
Karate Do is a path O Sensei did his best to foster it
YES. Finally.
Love it and have u practice kobudo over there
yes I did!
WOW, I first heard the term Satsujiken in the manga Shijou Saiko no Deshi Kenichi, I never would have thought it was an actual term
Beautiful
Very cool, keep it up
Thanks, will do!
No problem very cool to get a reply
Sensei. I. practice from your videos 😄😺
Keep it up!
Great discussion. And great philosophy.
You mentioned different styles. Do you know where Shorei Ryu fits in?
Thank you 🙏
This is great!
Thanks!
I was surprised of this his pronunciation of the Japanese. I experience with Okinawanese was, that I couldn't understand a bit. But what he told, was clearly understandable.
He probably adjusted to the Hyojungo!
@@KarateDojowaKu That were my thoughts too.
I would love to see you review the game absolver. It’s not a well known game, but uses many martial arts moves I’ve seen you show in your videos and would love to see if practical martial arts could translate into skills in the game.
I know that when I’ve been playing I have to do many of the techniques I’ve seen featured here on your channel.
Wow! I will check it out!
You please visit kyoshi Onaga Yusuke dojo also. The only one shito Ryu dojo in Okinawa.
In season 2!
Amazing how everything he mentioned about Matsubayashi ryu is exactly what my Sensei told me in Ohio 30 years ago.
Can you please do a video about Kyokushin kai style
After this series!
@@KarateDojowaKu Thanks 🙏🏾❤️🔥
greetings to you
great.
Nice!
Thanks Duong!
I've been studying Shorin ryu style for about 2 years now
I am from Kerala India and I don't know how true it is like what I am being taught
The katas I know are pinan shodan to pinan Godan and naihanchi shodan to naihanchi sandan pasai dai seisan and gekisaidai ichi
Karate association of India has removed Shorin ryu style from its association and the certificate of Shorin ryu belt doesn't have any value now
So my sensei is now forced to disguise his dojo as gi Toku kai style dojo
Honestly this was the first time j heard abt this style
He still teaches Shorin ryu and is one of the best sensei I have ever had the fortune of meeting
I've seen alot of Karate and kungfu senseis in india but most of them do it for the money alone
It's not very difficult to get a black belt in almost any martial art in india u just need to be rich
Martial arts scene in india is very bad
Well, I'm great that you can gain access to authentic materials using the internet in 2021. I wish you the best!
@@KarateDojowaKu thnx alot Sensei
Good inspirational video ! It's may be a stupid question but what is written on the belt you and Shinzato Sensei wear ?
Our names and the name of the organization!
Yuuuuuuuuuuuus
keeeeee
I wanna see what his style of karate looks like
Coming up very soon!
I have found a good initial block can make the aggressor think again.
Right!
2:52 - 3:10 He's so right about that
I agree!
Could you make a video about wado-ryu karate?
Hello,
Have you thought of researching Shorinjiryu Kenkokan Karatedo?
If possible, try to get Sensei Taira on a video. He has great applications for kata.
Hopefully in season 2!
When he said he has been practicing for 50 years , I expected him to go NANI?
Matsubayashi Shorinryu is Okinawa Tomari Te the Natural Way of Breath and Body Function
Near the beginning of the interview, Shinzato Sensei mentioned Shorin-ryū with Matsubayashi-ryū. The context is a bit unclear by the subtitles. Was he saying that Matsubayashi-ryū is a branch of Shorin-ryū, or that they are trained together at his dōjō, or something else entirely?
As far as my googlefu goes, Matsubayashi-ryu comes from Shorin-ryu, in a lot of places I even saw written as Matsubayashi Shorin-ryu or Matsubayashi-ha Shorin-ryu
There are a number of Shorin Ryu styles, generally from Shuri Te. Chosin Chibana, student of Anko Itosu, first named his style Shorin Ryu, using kanji that can also be pronounced Kobayashi Ryu (small forest style). Chibana was clear that his style's name is correctly pronounced Shorin Ryu. The name was probably referencing the history of Shaolin in China. Shoshin Nagamine named his style Shorin Ryu, using kanji that can also be pronounced Matsubayashi Ryu (pine forest style). Nagamine said the style name should generally be pronounced Shorin Ryu, unless it needed to be differentiated from other Shorin Ryu styles, in which case, it can be called Matsubayashi Ryu. There is also other kanji used for other Shorin Ryu schools that can be pronounced Shobayashi Ryu (young forest style).
As far as Japanese goes: Matsubayashi and Shorin have exactly the same meaning (pine woods). One is the kun-yomi and the other is the on-yomi (reading).
Perfect explanation!
That's correct!
Interview with Rika Usami next :D
Ohh that's a lovely one...
Could you do a reaction video to Hapkido look twords Chris Garland or jing jung kwon
Thanks for the recommendation!
I'm so confused that I can't understand which karate style is best.My friend said shotokan style is best.But my other friend said goju ryu is best.When I'm watching your video,I think shotokan style is best.But when I'm watching traditional Okinawa karate,I think Okinawa karate is best.Can you suggest me which Karate is best.
There is no such things. Karate styles are just different way//accentuation to reach the same objective. Some may be more appealling than others for you but "best" doesn't exist regarding the styles, it's depend more on the teaching than on the style.
@@baldaction3510 and choose a style (soft or hard) that fit’s you.
Techniques wise the best karate is the karate you develop understanding your own body, their advantages and limits.
Philosophy wise, they are pretty much the same, just using different words, it's about respecting everyone and everything, not actively producing violence and actively find peace and self-awareness (internal peace)
Like the others have said, there is no "best" karate style. There are far more similarities than differences in them, as most of them evolved from either the Shuri-Te or Naha-Te lines. Not every style teaches the same katas, and there are different points of emphasis, but one isn't inherently better than the other. It mostly boils down to how good your Sensei is, and if they are teaching effective karate, and not running a McDojo. I've trained in two separate karate styles in my lifetime (Uechi-Ryu and Shito-Ryu) and have gained a lot of good experience from both of them.
thanks for the comment!
👍👍👍👍👍👍
thanks!
@@KarateDojowaKu you're welcome always 🙏🙏🙏
👍
thanks!
Shurite: Shorin-ryu, Matsubayashi-ryu, Kobayashi-ryu, Sobayashi-ryu, Hayashi-ryu - how do y'all pronounce them differently when they all are spelled the same in kanji??? :)
As they all can be pronounced the same like "Shorin Ryu", we have to check or guess from the context. That's why some people avoid saying Shorin.
@@KarateDojowaKu : matsuba-tokan. :)
Matsubayashi Ryu.
Yes it is!
